Ate Lynne has a new hairdo today. It looks great on her BUT it is really blonde! So Alyssa was really surprised when she saw her this afternoon. She started giggling! She said: “What happened to your hair Ninang?” Ate Lynne replied: “I had it colored. Do you like it?” Alyssa was pretty fast on her reply. “No, it is ugly!”

She say’s ugly to everything… And no, she’s not confused. She is just on the stage where she get creative with the use of vocabulary. She is now starting to call us names… or call her self names. Even if it’s funny, I really think it is amazing. The human mind is a complex thing and it’s development is beyond explanation. Children are the best manifestation of such mystery.

I was unable to take some pictures today. But tomorrow is July 4 and we planned on watching the fireworks at the park. Maybe. I am not really sure… But for sure, we will be doing something else.

Our Alyssa is now almost three. She is a little bit tall for her age so a lot of people think she is running four already. Yesterday when we took her to the park, there were two little girls her age playing by themselves on the swing and on the slide. Alyssa on the other hand was holding on tight to her Dad. She is an active girl but I just realized she is not as stable as those little girls. When she runs, sometimes it looks like she’s going to trip herself. And when she climbs up the stairs, I get so worried when she doesn’t hold on the rails. So when I was watching her at the park, I couldn’t help but blame myself for her being so reserved. Rright now, she seems very fearful and so I should start letting her do stuff without acting so nervous so she won’t get scared.  That should help build up her self-confidence when trying on new activities…
